At my Mother's funeral, I was saddened to discover that I remembered very little of my time growing up. As friends and family shared memories and anecdotes, I attempted to record as meny as I could recall. My sidlings and I will be gathering these hilarious and heart-warming ftales or publication here as a tribute to our parents.

No motorcycles!

I  was living at home while attending college, and I announced to our parents that I  would be buying a motorcycle.  Mom told me to rethink my plan, because I would not be able to afford such a vehicle.  I countered in great detail how economical a bike would be compared to a car, explaining how I would actually save a great deal of money.  Mom explained, "You can't afford a motorcycle, because if you get one, you will have to move out of my house."  I remain motorcycle-less to this day.  -- Gary

  1. I've got a motorcycle story too! I worked at Arby's to put myself through college. One of the guys I worked with at Arby's, Brian, asked me out on a date. He shows up to pick me up for the date on a motorcycle. He brought a helmet for me to wear. When I saw him pull up on a motorcycle, I thought to myself, uh-oh that ends my date. I hadn't had many dates in my short life yet and was really disappointed. But mom let me go! Yeah! You rock mom! -- Linda
